Thanks for the input guys/gals/guals.

I have been thoroughly convinced that despite speculation of the release, this would be a great product to buy. Having had the opportunity to use the N810, I know I'd love (and have MANY uses for) it regardless of weather a new version came out or not. Of course, the ideal-consumer in me was weighing perfect-substitutes, phantom or otherwise.

But as fate would have it, on this cold Canadian morn, I am having trouble getting in touch with a seller that has the one I would like to buy in stock. I'm prepared to purchase this unit today, so hopefully I hear back. If I don't hear back from this gual, I'm going to have to wait another week (at least) before I move forward.

I've got both fingers crossed!

YARR!
